»  ABOUT DEPARTMENT

The subject “Biotechnology” is the in-thing in this modern era of sophisticated equipment and a focus on the goal of increasing the age of human beings and their quality of life. The applications of Biotechnology are extendable to every aspect of our daily life. Whether it is the treatment of the wastage to minimize pollution and save environment or observing the diseased parts inside the human body without a single physical cut – all utilize the knowledge of this subject.

B Tech Biotechnology
Department of Biotechnology offers a B.Tech programme that provides a strong foundation in Biotechnology, which can lead students to both industry as well as research/academia. Our programme spans over a period of four years divided into 8 semesters. It offers a set of courses covering major areas of Biotechnology. Besides it, students get an opportunity to take practical experiments in Biochemistry, Microbiology, Cell Biology, Genetics, Molecular Biology, Tissue Culture and Bio-Informatics. The department also offers a collection of over 1000 books on specialized technical subjects.

Our aim is to train our students with a technical base for employment in the diverse areas of Biotechnology where the industry based arena is expanding rapidly.


Dr B. R. Marwah heads the department. A team of committed and research-loving faculty has produced good results in the past. We also hope to provide R&D along with studies according to the course curriculum to our students to give them better exposure to the developments in Biotechnology.

The mission of the HoD is:
To accomplish scientific work that is useful to the society to eliminate poverty.

Our laboratories are well ventilated, spacious and best equipped in respect of all the instruments, glassware, chemicals and bio-chemicals required for the class experiments as well as research work and quality teaching. All Biotechnological experiments according the K.U.K. syllabus are being performed by students regularly in the laboratories itself and are well versed with the use of sophisticated equipments such as an Elisa Plate Reader, SDS–PAGE electrophoresis, Agarose Gel electrophoresis, cold high-speed centrifuge, analytical Sartorius balance and a PCR from USA with Lab India Company at Gurgaon. The department has procured a Millipore system for providing Milli Q grade water for experimental purposes. There is a provision for a full course in Bioinformatics and laboratory is equipped with 15 IBM computers. The Department has recently purchased a Fermentor and BOD incubator for carrying out research activities related to Project work of the students and Faculty members as a part of research developing programme of the department.
